Do we have some hard baseline of systems we need our tests to run on? I have SmartOS (Solaris derivate), I could get my hands on a Solaris VM (10 or 11, I’ll need to check with Oracles license) for local testing. I have virtually no experience with AIX though. As these tests are only run on development machines I assume that we can require some additional packages to be installed? I’ll make sure that it works on * Ubuntu Precise Pangolin * Mac OS * Solaris 11 (btw: Do we use gcc or Solaris Studio?) Can you do a final test on AIX after I am done? Cheers Jens
